I was in the Cotton Bowl earlier for the Germany v South Korea match. It was 100F outside the stadium, 110F inside the stadium and 120F on the pitch. A polar bear dive would have felt good that day.

OP
I actually expected all the good natured ribbing.
I find it interesting its comming almost exclusively from Ontarians.
Yes, 50*F is cold to me. As it is to many of us Southerners. North Texas only had one 100+*F day last summer. That is highly unusual.
I'm still diving dry, as I hate being cold.
I doubt I could handle diving up there. I have often said, I am living as far north as I ever want to live.

Just good natured jealousy of our winter temps!

it is just plain old jealousy, but you can't keep Canadian divers dry for very long. We are brave enough, hearty enough and dumb enough to jump into water that is just a cats whisker away from being stiff. Hell, we'll even do it when the water is stiff. Who's up for some ice diving?

What's diving like in the Bay of Fundy? Any interesting wrecks?
Brrrrr! You can have that! I have dove water temps in the high 50's in a 3 mil wetstuit (wont be making that mistake again). Although I also have a 7 mil semi dry that works great, I am seriously considering the purchase of a DUI Dry Suit.
Ice diving? You bring the chainsaw, I'll bring some hot chocolate! (But AFTER I get my drysuit!)
